Yeah i agree with you, but there was very little i think we could have done last night to stop Dirk. It was a tough situation to be in.. you put in Chuck to stop Dirk, then you're kinda screwed on the offensive end. As far as the Refs go, i think there was ONE call in particular where Yao got call for an offensive foul in the 3rd that really turned things around for Dallas. The REF said Yao had his ELBOW on Hollin's THROAT.. YAO IS FREAKIN 7'6! Where the heck is he supposed to put is elbow???
What happens after that? We meet up with Kobe, Gasol, Bynum and Odom! How is that matchup anyone can want? On the other hand if won that game we'd have avoided the Lakers until WCF. With the talent we have, getting out of the first round should be a given, but now even that's uncertain because the Blazers have a very good coach and a disciplined team, both things which we apparently don't have. Anyone who's mad with the game, and with this team has a right to be dissapointed.
I'm kinda glad we avoided the stupid mavs because jason terry becomes dwayne wade with a 3pt shot whenever he plays against us...
How many times have seen this meltdown in the 4th? Similar story as always, Artest chucking away a close lead till it was too late to claw back. I hope this pattern don't repeat itself against the Blazers. Good luck!
It is amazing how well this guy plays against us. He just never seems to miss against the rockets. Lowry played him pretty well down the stretch but he just has this type of games every time against the rockets. If we had won, they would have been our first round opponents. NO WAY! We go the best match, only we wished we had home court
Let's turn the page and and move on to better days. I just made these for this year's playoffs. I made one last year for the Jazz series. These are a take on this year's campaign. Some favorite Rockets moments to remember why this is the best time of year. Enjoy. Go Rox. Beat the Blazers. http://www.youtube.com/user/rocketsqtc <object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/j1tf28qahCo&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/j1tf28qahCo&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object> <object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wfhhBN9L8Sg&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wfhhBN9L8Sg&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object> <object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ASxTyFlLYso&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ASxTyFlLYso&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object>
Jason Terry is the Rockets biological father. He is to the Rockets, is what Pujols is to the Astros. Actually glad that we don't have to look at his mug for the next 2 or 3 weeks. The Hornets matchup didn't look as sexy with Chandler back,either. The Blazers feet have yet to step in the playoff pool. Houston is better and will take care of business.
i was busy at work but also just wanted to avoid this site after that loss. i'm sure i feel like many of you do too. that loss hurt inside and outside. BUT, i am ready for the playoffs to see what we can do! got my tickets the other day so i'm all set! GO ROCKETS!
